"These whimsical and rare work's are by Amedee Varin who also contributed to the better known “Fleurs Animees”. Varin (1818-1883) was an artist and illustrator and a member of the illustrious Beaux Art School in Paris. Similar to the Fleurs Animees, but personifying vegetables instead of flowers, each print includes a satirical phrase or title, very much in the genre of political satire of the day exemplified by the work of Grandville." Makes one think twice about eating so many veggies...!
